You haven't even seen the game yet so who knows if we've seen this all before.

I'm hoping that's what they're trying to show. Having a battle royale or something would be an easy way to get a group of people to play. Once you lose, just give the halo and leg strap to next person and join the next royale. That'd be pretty dope
I'm fairly sure from the performances I saw in the video I have a pretty good idea...
Considering how folk reacted to stuff like Labo or Kinect games, it's not surprising. Dedicated gamers online always get salty if there's a more casual game or accessory being made that isn't for them. It's not as if they're not making plenty of core games so I never understood why people get all hot and bothered by stuff like this
So you know without seeing the game that everyone is already bored of the game? That's impressive.
You're right, it's not really surprising, just disappointing. Just chill people, it's not the end of the world if something doesn't suit your tastes.
Exactly. Plenty of core games have come out that I couldn't get into or thought were flat out bad and there are some more casual games that have appealed to me, such as BrainAge or Wii Sports Resort, and vice versa. I think if folk were more open minded to branch out from their usual niches, there would be less vitriol towards these sort of games
I actually wasn't referrring to the game but rather the whole motion-gaming experience, like I say I'm sure there's demand for it but I'm cynical. If it turns out to be something incredible then I'll eat my words, but I stand by what I've said, we've seen it before. Labo was more interesting imo.
They would've put it in the recent direct if they really thought it was mind-blowing.
Because everyone thinks the average gamer sits on a couch with a controller and enough pizza to feed Italy. I think it's good that they think about this kind of stuff, someone has to get people off their backsides, do I think it will help? For a handful of people yeah, for the majority I can't see it.
If they put in in the recent Direct, gamers would've been outraged, regardless it it was amazing or not
Now that I know Divinity doesn't have local co-op, whatever the heck they just showed us is my favorite switch announcement this week.
I'm guessing the game(s) are not demoable yet, otherwise I'm pretty sure they would've shown it in the direct, probably didn't want to delay it for another week or so.
It's third for me after Doom 64 and that ghost Pokemon that lives inside a teapot.
Isn't drift caused by debris accumulating around the stick inside the shell? I don't think this kind of use will affect that.
Nah, It's the same situation as LABO : none of the 4 kits have been shown in a direct
Why do people care that Nintendo is continuing to make their weird side games? They don't comprise even 10% of their output anymore compared to the Wii days so its not even a development drain. It's confusing to see grown adults acting like children over this.
Maybe something like Wii Sports Resort? A compilation of minigames with lots of depth, which can be enjoyed even by the hardcored crowd.
Hang on a minute, so it can be cleaned or it causes permanent damage? The replacement kits seem to contain a replacement analog stick.
Nah, Nintendo tends to keep their more weird experimental blue ocean stuff outside of Directs. I think they're well aware of the reception they'd receive if they were shown off in them
I get it now, this is Nintendos fix for the drift issue, shake that shit out - fixed.
I'm not sure. I think some of the debris is usually from wear and tear on a component that interlocks with the stick inside the case? I've heard that opening them up and cleaning the area around the stick sometimes works as a temporary fix but the drift usually comes back eventually.
Tbh, my right joy-con was still under warranty when it happened to me so I just sent it back to Nintendo and they sent me a replacement.
No, there's evidence the wear is permanent too. Cleaning is only a short term solution.
Still, using gyro has no impact on the analogs.
The Wii Fit series has sold 40+ million copies and is (according to Wikipedia) at least in the top 50 best selling series of all time.
Clearly a dead-end venture.
This is as Nintendo as anything Nintendo has ever done. They've been doing this kind of stuff since the NES era, even earlier.
tbh is a good idea, a healthy gamer lives more therefore so he can buy games and consoles for longer
Well, all PS4 consoles can play VR games if they buy the necessary accessories.
Not all Switch models will play this tho.
A weeks not really going to make that much of a difference, especially if the game is releasing this year.
Well I don't really feel confident that it's implementation would be inline with current standards. But let's wait and see, Nintendo is on a role so hoping for the best.
Honestly even if this isn't for me, I hope the new IP has creative characters, music and world. Like Splatoon and ARMS, unlike Wii Fit and Wii Sports
Like it's possible to appeal to casual players with those aspects, so I'm hoping we don't just get the bare minimum there.

I don't know if I stated the contrary though. I mean, health is good and lucrative but It doesn't seem in line with Nintendo strong points for me. At least for me. I can understand Labo, amiibos and so on though.
I think largely the problem is once fitness fads fizzle out ... consumers tend to not come back. The whole "you can exercise with video games!!!!" craze circa 2008 I think largely spent a lot of that capital. We'll see if a pilates ring instead of a Kinect camera or Wiimotes or balance board can really change that, the software would have to be more than just "mini-games compilation!" I think.
Things like 15 Minute Abs and resistance ropes that you would tie to doorknobs were all the rage in the 80s and 90s, but not many people utilize that anymore. Once people move on from a fitness fad, they tend not to go backwards.

I mean they have released a number of major online games in the past few years. Nintendo not knowing how to do online is not really a thing anymore.
They choose to do some strange and archaic things like do voice chat through an app but they clearly understand how to develop games that leverage online multiplayer.
I just re-watched this, and still don't fully understand what's going on here. But whatever this is, it's such an out-there/blue ocean/left field kind of move that I absolutely want to know more! Classic Nintendo.
I have no idea what it is...outside being a fitness device of sorts...
Looks like a resistance device of some sort but shaped in a giant circle. Never used anything like it outside of some resistance bands when working out. Might check it out depends how well it works.
That commercial though was very enjoyable to watch for some reason lol

think because there was a report the Labo team was 4 seconds from pushing the "port to switch" button for TTYD, Eternal Darkness, and HD Zelda twins, before Miyamoto flipped a table, revealing cardboard underneath and said, "get to work"
again, reportedly
